The national anthem of Somaliland was the national anthem of the short-lived independent State of Somaliland that existed in the Horn of Africa between 26 June 1960 and 1 July 1960.

The anthem, which had no lyrics, was composed by local musicians, drawing inspiration from the traditional music of the region, and transcribed by British bandmaster R.A.Y. Mitchell of the band of the Royal Highland Fusiliers.[1][2][3]
